My 2010 CAAD9 just arrived!

Road Cycling“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

About 2 weeks ago I put a deposit on a 2010 Cannondale CAAD9-5. I was certain that it wouldn't arrive until mid September, but I got the call today. My bike is ready for pick up! I'll post pics when I pick it up on Monday.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? What are your opinions of the new color scheme? I'm looking into getting a caad9 5 but I can't really look at them because I've been away from home the whole summer but thank God I get back on Wednesday so I might be able to snag a 2009 in case there's much of a price difference but the new paint scheme might be worth some extra money.

I ordered my CAAD9-5 (the grey model) from my LBS today and am gonna ride it when it comes in (about a week), if everything is right I will be buying it and taking it home. The price they told me was 1399, 100 less than the other Cannondale dealer in the area. Now I need to know which pedals/shoes should I get with?
